Eddie as he likes to be called is a transfer student to William Lee Hastings.

He came to us from Florida fleeing the hurricane.

Since his arrival, Eddie has been a ray of sunshine in our class, there is no one that he won’t talk to or help out.

He adapted not only to a new school, but to a whole set of new students. Not once did he show any signs of resentment towards his plight, on the contrary he has shown us what a wonderful personality he has, as well as a huge heart.

In our classroom we work with partners and Eddie has been partnered with a student with special needs, and never once has he said he wouldn’t do it.

He has embraced the fact that she is special and needs assistance.

He is very caring and kind towards her and his classmates.

Eddie is always making sure that his partner is understanding and staying on task while making sure that he is also doing what he should be doing.
